I have to agree with Chuck. *shock* and *dismay*!<br>ICQ is a very sucky proggy. I installed it last night (2000 beta -- beta, shudder) but only to apropriate a number. I then immediately uninstalled it (the interface is worse than MS Office.)<br><br>I then installed , which, by the way, is also available for WinCE 3.0 ;) It will handle it's own proprietary IM format (the only with secure file transfer) as well as MSN, ICQ, and Y!IM. The catch -- you have to register through MSN, ICQ, and Y!IM each to get a username/number so you can talk with others using those services. That, and the voice chat features are missing. Still, it beats having three programs running at once just to do the same thing (that, and it won't crash your system like ICQ does, or eat resources like there's no tommorow.)

Really?  Does that mean I can use MSM IM on my PPC using Jabber?

blah. ICQ changes the PC config? yes. The installation is bad? yes. Is it insecure? Yes.<br>But, blah, everyone that I know has ICQ, so I think I will need to stay with it... :/

The application itself is very good. Lots of options and customization. But it´s not very user friendly

http://miranda-icq.sourceforge.net/<br>This is a new, better (no wait, best) ICQ program that interfaces completely with the network but with all the old ICQ things. No plug ins, no fancy things, just communication. Check it out, then tell me what you think of Miranda

And I thought Chuck would be the perverted one to say that. Here Chris, take my 20 bucks, I lost the bet. Losing money makes me even more depressed.<br>Last modification: Moose Master - 05/10/01 at 15:03:05
